Appeal from a judgment of the superior court for Walla Walla county, Mills, J., entered July 3, 1918, upon the verdict of a jury rendered in favor of the plaintiff, in an action upon a policy of life insurance, after a trial on the merits.

1Opinion of the CourtMount, J.

This action was brought to recover upon an alleged policy of insurance issued by the defendant. For answer the defendant denied any liability. The case was tried to the court and a jury and resulted in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the face of the policy—$3,000. At the close of all the evidence, the defendant moved for a directed verdict; and after verdict, for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. These motions were denied and a judgment was entered in favor of the plaintiff for $3,000. The defendant has appealed from that judgment.

There is no substantial dispute upon the facts.…
